Meet the MFA Candidates: Alenka De Los Rios

Alenka is a second year MFA Candidate at CCAD. Alenka is from Lima, Peru and received her undergraduate degree from Universidad San Ignacio de Loyola. Alenka is a graphic designer, and in the past semesters here at CCAD she has worked with character design, illustration, and story development.

Her thesis project revolves around a fictional world that Alenka developed. In this world, the Incas colonized North America instead of the Europeans. This project is a reflection on how Latin Americans and South Americans are alienated from the “America” United States Citizens like to call their home.
